Quite mundane. Tests are very similar to practice tests, quizzes are pulled directly from homework. Keeps instruction simple and digestible, although he provides nothing in addition to the text.

Very good teacher. Recommended.

Great teacher, I took him for Intro Chem all the way through Organic IIand got all A's hes very nice and fair.

He took a tough textbook and makes it digestible. Teaches the stuff you need to know. Practice exams are what you need to study. If you keep up, it's an easy class. I found him to be an excellent teacher.

Excellent Lab teacher

very good at teaching!!!! knows his stuff!!!! he never puts anyone down, and is always willing to help you out! highly recommend when taking chemistry.

I had Dr. Stodden for 2 years in a row (Chem I and II, Organic I and II). He is an amazing teacher, and if you're in a jam, he's willing to help you realize what you need. If there was ever anything I was confused on (and in chemistry, it happened A LOT), he took the time out to explain it. Also, he is a GREAT lab teacher.

Had Dr. S for Chem II and Organic I/II w/ labs. Awesome is all I can say! Best chemistry teacher at SPC. Always willing to help! Labs were great! Chemistry is a very hard subject but he makes it understandable and if you put forth the effort to study outside of class, you should have no problems. Highly recommended!!!

This teacher is amazing!! He explains the subject very clearly. The test and quizzes are from the homework. He tells you when quizzes are going to be and even gives you practice test. The truth do your homework and you will get an A! He is sweet and very understanding...

I took him for intro, chem 1 and will be for chem 2. He is the best teacher for chemistry and by far the best professor I have had. He makes you laugh and tries to make it as interesting as possible. His practice tests are identical to the tests and his quizes are directly from homework. He is really funny and nice I wouldn't take anyone else!

Stodden is an amazing teacher. He gives practice tests which give you a GENERAL idea of what is on the tests. If you do not pay attention in class or read the book, as well as do homework, the practice tests will not be enough to allow you to pass wach test. Regardless he is very helpful and is a good overall teacher.

Well for anyone who is stupid enough to fail his intro chem class here are some guidelines. 1. Read the lab before coming to class[the quiz is on the prelab] 2. if you still dont know something ask him he'll probably even give you the answer if you're polite becaus this is intro chem which is just a learning experience

Presentation of material is done in a clear and concise manner. Questions and real world applications are usually considered in class. I just did the example problems and went to class and I'm pullin' an A. I had chem-a-phobia. Honestly. Consistent and fair throughout term. High reco.

Stodd's if by far the best teacher to take. He knows chemistry isn't the most exciting subject, but he tries to make it fun. I wouldn't take anyone else for chem. He is the only one from Tarpon worth taking because he is helpful and funny.

Very good teacher, but sometimes he relies too heavily on examples rather than explaining. He's an extremely smart guy. He's got a great sense of humor. He makes no bones about the fact that chemistry is NOT easy, and you need to do the work to get a good grade. Do the homework and practice tests a couple of times and you'll do well.

Dr. Stodden is a great professor. I took Org. Chem. I and I must tell you that if you read the book and do your homework, you will be fine, because he does not play tricks or have anything else on his tests that you haven?t seen before, as other chem. Professors on the Tarpon Springs Campus do (there is no needs to point them out).

Great teacher! Makes everything clear and easy to understand while providing a good foundation for higher-level classes. I go to FSU and took this class last summer, and it prepared me amazingly for the rest of the classes I've taken. Highly recommend!

Dr Stodden is AWESOME! He takes the time to explain stuff, especially if U ask! His short/simple quizzes R from the Adv. study assign. Labs R fun & it makes the material easier to understand!(not that they're hard anyway!) I came N thinking I wouldn't be able to make an A, but U definately can! Nice professor & runs a great LAB(Chm1045)! Luv him!!

I took him for CHM 1025 and 1045. He is very thorough, and cares about your success. I didn't do so well on a test because I was very sick that week, and after he handed me my test back, he wanted to make sure that nothing serious was going on. Very nice, quizzes are on your homework problems so do the homework! Tests aren't that bad if you study.

I took him for GenChem 1, Orgo 1 and 2. He is a spectacular professor and is very thorough with the material. Is always willing to help and has a great sense of humor. Highly recommended.

Dr.Stodden is prob one of the coolest prof youll ever have. Hes a really really nice guy. Its orgo so you have to study,he is easy,the material is not.To get an A you HAVE to do the hw.Lots of memorization.Hes super willing to help out,really down to earth guy.Prob my fav prof of all time.Really cares about his students and is never condescending

Dr.Stodden is prob the coolest prof ever.Def the best one I've ever had.Orgo is hard but he makes the class awesome.You HAVE to do the hw from the book to get an A, uses hw probs on exam.Super willing to help out.Great in lab,really down to earth & never condescending.Exams are really straight forward.Really funny, nice guy,cares about his students

Be/c he takes time on a subject, U actually LEARN something, so I'm glad he DOESN'T fly thru the material! Stodden is AWESOME! He never has the attitude that he's better than others, like some prof's do! If U do the hw, U should be able 2 do the tests w/o any prob's. Chem 2 is NOT hard! U can get an A in his class- I did! He is ALWAYS there 2 help!

Stodden is great! He explains everything without books and writes his notes on the board. He makes everything understandable. He missed quite a few classes due to illness and a death in the family but still kept us up to date on what to study. I will be taking him for Organic as well. He is GREAT!!!! Also, he uses hw as a grade.

Very good teacher in my opinion. I was told I wouldn't do well in his class, however I seemed to thrive. His notes are very helpful and I like the fact he spends time on the individual subjects per chapter. If you need help do NOT be afraid to ask, he is very personable and loves the subject with enthusiasm.

This class was pretty difficult, his tests make you THINK. Make sure you do the homework. I did the homework multiple times to prepare for his exams, and I got A's on all of them! He's very helpful. He's always willing to answer questions during his office hours. I drove all the way up to Tarpon from St. Pete to take him---well worth the drive!

Stodden is a good teacher. His tests are very difficult, but if you do the homework and the online homework you will get a good grade. I have taken him for chm 1026 and 1046 lecture and lab, and did well in all classes. Would recommend to anyone that will put the effort in. I am taking him for Organic in the fall.

Dr. Stodden is a great professor. You must study to do well in the class. I read every chapter that we were tested on and easily got A's. He is willing to go over any questions you have and is always determined to find the answer if he doesn't already know it. Highly recommend him!!

Chem 2 is very hard. Do every owl, read every chapter and do the hw. Go to the info commons for help. You are graded on 4 exams (1 cuml. final), a couple quizes, and owl. He's super slow on grading and doesn't go over everything on the test. Go to his office for help, he doesn't mind. I hate the TS campus, they need more science teachers.

Dr Stodden is a great, respectable professor. He KNOWS chemistry, it's not easy..you HAVE TO study. He is fair, and extremely helpful. He always offers to help if you go to his office. If you attend his class, do the homework, do the OWL assignments, you'll really enjoy his class and get an A (not easy but enjoyable journey to get)

Dr. Stodden is a good teacher. He is very nice and passionate about chemistry. I enjoyed taking him although I received a B in the class. You must read and actually pay attention in his class. If your just looking for a filler class, this is not the class for you.

Dr. Stodden is a pretty fair professor. He tells you exactly what he will and won't test you on. His grading is hard, but if you attend the lecture and read the book, you will do fine. While his lectures are a bit slow, the course is meant to be slow to allow enough time for students to learn the material. This class is timed so you can succeed

Prof. Stodden was a good professor in the sense that he is methodical and accepting of input and questions. However, we missed a couple of chapters in the process. Didn't pick on sarcasm or any of that as some past comments have hinted at. Overall, I enjoyed the class; The Owl needs to go though. That really took a lot away from the class.

He's very helpful and will explain something until he's exhausted all ways he knows to expain it. He can be very monotoned and his tests are difficult, but if you study, they're not that bad. He also tries to curve so that the entire class doesn't completely fail. P.S. Bring caffeine.....

Professor Stodden is a great professor! VERY knowledgable about Chemistry and thoroughly explains each topic until you understand it. Approachable and willing to help you by explaining things even if you don't understand it the first time...or the second. Overall a great professor. I recommend him!

I feel like many students do not understand that Chemisty II is not designed to be an easy class. That being said, Stodden is not "bad" or the "worst professor" as some would say. Yes, even the best students struggle, but if one puts in the time for studying and reading the textbook, there is a good chance for a B or even an A.

Dr. Stodden is a great professor. I didn't have any problems in class. Material explained well, but you have to also educate your self at home. Oh, wait a second! Many students think that professor has to teach them everything. Don't think so! You want to learn something, you have to study on your own too. It is a College and not a High School.

Tests are very difficult. Most of the class was failing throughout the semester. HW is very long and has examples on it that he doesnt go over in class. His study guides do help and the quizzes are an easy way to help your grade. He is much easier in lab, very straight forward, and helpful. Lab report due for every lab.

I enjoyed the environment of his lab. He is very approachable if you have any questions about anything. Most lab periods will have a quiz in the beginning, & he goes over what will be on the quiz right before. The cons of taking Stodden is that it takes him a couple weeks to input grades & he is a tough grader when it comes to lab reports.

Pro Stoddin is ready to help anyone needs help You need to read the book and do the homework His exams are not easy but it is not impossible to get an A because the questions testing your understanding not your memorizing He curves each exam and can add 7 or 10 points to each exam grade His final exam is easier than the others

Professor Stodden is a very nice man who is very willing to help people in a difficult subject. It seemed that many people failed his tests but if you study and ask questions in class and take good notes you should do fine in the class. He assigns a lot of homework but after chapter 2 I stopped doing it and did just fine.

Professor Stodden is a good teacher for Chem 1 Lecture. He gives concise lectures, assigns relevant homework, and is readily available to help students who seek his assistance. However, his class can be less organized, he does not post online study material often, and he assigns online OWL coursework aside from HW which is not always test-related.

I had Professor Stodden for my Chem 2 lecture and lab classes. He is a great lab instructor: clear, concise, kind, and helpful, assigning relevant material, and showing a passion for the study. As a lecture professor, he can be a little more vague and disorganized, and his tests can be difficult. I would suggest him to dedicated science majors.

I made an A in his class, but I had to read the book to do well. He expects you to fully understand everything he goes over. This is hard if all you do is complete his study guide - you must read the book too. He grades on a curve, but he only gives enough points to bring the class average to a 75, and doesn't add more than 10 points total.

Chem 2 is a tough course, but its possible to do well in this class. I liked Stodden because he wants you to succeed and hes available outside of class if you need help. His lectures are very boring and monotoned.. Heres how to get an A/B 1) Do the owls 2) Read the book after each lecture 3) Do the homework and practice tests twice 4) put time in

Stodden gives optional written HW that he goes over in class and answers any and all questions you have. If you do the written and online HW and are not bad at math you will be fine. The concept portions on the exams are the only reason I ended up with a B, the long answer math questions he gives decent partial credit and always curves a few pts

Great teacher, knowledgable, but does not understand how to manage his time, AT ALL. Stodden spends literally a whole class period going over homework questions, thus making us unable to cover all the chapters that needed/should have been covered. Besides his poor time management, he's a great teacher and if you study you should get an easy A.

Very good professor, cuts straight to the point and is easy to understand. Also offers lots of help.

I took Stodden over summer and its was pretty easy. Chemistry is tough but he gives long lectures to cover all the sections of the chapters, he has homework online which help ALOT and his tests are just like the reviews. He is slow in class but i found it as a good opportunity to learn all the material without rushing . I got A's on all my tests.

I took him over the summer 2019. Then again it was a 2 hour class. The lectures are pretty boring but if you pay attention and take good notes, you will pass. He is actually pretty good at explaining stuff and his notes are really easy to jot down. The reviews he has for the test are also really useful. Would take again.

Other reviews mention Stodden being a bit monotone & while that is true, what really matters is that he does a great job explaining difficult material. Besides, this is college, not a carnival - we didnt come to be entertained, we came to learn. And Stodden will help you learn. Hes also kind & willing to explain difficult concepts.

Stodden is a wonderful professor! I have never taken a chemistry class before, but I have learned so much from him. As long as you show up for class and take good notes you will pass. He gives great examples and really is passionate about the subject matter. I would totally take a class with him again and I definitely recommend him!

I read the rate my professor reviews before taking Dr. Stodden for Chem 1. Dr. Stodden is a good professor, hes quite and laid back. He wants his students to succeed. He may have you memorize some information like solubility rules/polyatomic anions but besides that he gives you a formula sheet on tests. I will definitely take him again.

I'm not the best at science, and I was skeptical upon taking chem, but Professor Stodden is a great teacher and explains everything quite well. The quizzes and exams(5) are easy if you take notes during lecture, plus he drops your lowest quiz and exam grade.

AMAZING professor. Was skeptical upon taking him but turned out to be my favorite class and my favorite professor. Very helpful and accommodating. It is a tough class but if you put in the work you can absolutely get an A. Always willing to answer questions during and after class. Cares a lot about his students. Would 100% take him again!

At first, Stodden's monotone voice gives off this impression that the lectures would be difficult. Dr. Stodden is an outstandingly great professor that cares about his students success just as much as the material he is trying to emphasize on. Chemistry isn't easy, however, he has office hours and responds to emails (even at late hours in the day)

I think Prof Stodden is a great teacher, the only problem is that he takes a while to grade. Other than that, his labs were pretty easy as he gave brief lectures and was very good at explaining the procedure. He was super helpful if we ever had questions. I would recommend him for lab.

Dr. Stodden is an AMAZING chemistry professor. Although he gives two different types of homework, mastering chem and the book homework, they help you further understand the content and ace the chapter quizzes and exams. In addition, he is very open about his office hours and always encourages students to see him if they don't understand anything.

I do not understand any of the hate on here. He is a great professor that will work with you if you go to his office hours. He wants his students to do well and is very thorough and goes slowly with his lectures (so you can take really good notes). He taught me so much and I am so glad that I took this class with him. Go Stodden!

Dr. Stodden was a great professor! He was always available to answer questions after class or at office hours. You will have to work to earn your grade, but the test material comes from MasteringChemistry homework, lecture, and the textbook. Lecture was a bit dull at times, but I was able to learn a lot.

Taking Dr. Stodden was a great experience. He made class interesting and goes through each problem with detail. Don't expect an easy A, like any chemistry class. However, you can expect a lot of support if you seek it.

He does have a monotone voice during lectures, but he does know what he's talking about. If you just pay attention during lecture, you should do fine on the tests. The practice tests are very similar to the actual tests. Do assigned homework to study for quizzes. Doing practice problems will get you an A. Make sure you attend lecture. Nice guy

Stodden is a solid professor - his lectures can be dry, but he cares about student success. The workload is challenging, but mastering the homework and textbook will pay off. I found Unstuck study useful for efficient study prep.
